The Viking Dinner Yurt, The Canyons, Park City, Utah Music from a baby grand is the first hint of what awaits at this 32-person yurt set at 8,000 feet, above Red Pine Lodge. Upon delivery via a snowcat-pulled sleigh, guests dine by candlelight on Scandinavian fare. Five-course menus change monthly. This month’s includes roasted fennel broth with Norwegian meat dumplings, pan-roasted organic chicken and Meyer lemon tarts. http://thevikingyurt.com; 435-615-9878

Zach’s Cabin, Beaver Creek, Colo. Sip a hot toddy at The Ritz-Carlton before boarding a snowcat-drawn sleigh up to this elegant Bachelor Gulch chalet. Zach’s is known for its hearty seasonal dishes, including braised beef short ribs, lobster and porcini tagliatelle, seared Muscovy duck and chili-crusted venison tenderloin. All pair well with wines from the Wine Spectator “Best Of” Award list. http://beavercreek.snow.com; 970-754-6575

Moonlight Dinners, Big Sky, Mont. Betsy and Dolly, a pair of enclosed snowcats, are your ride to a backcountry yurt on Andesite Mountain.
